Therapeutic approaches for online care

John often integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration, helping people explore their values and build self-understanding, which can be especially useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

CBT helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors by changing how people think and act in specific situations. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering concrete tools for managing intense emotions, anger, and difficult interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and John works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. He adapts strategies over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for ongoing support.
